How would be the feeling of putting your hand inside a liquid that's 100% incapable of transferring heat?

Quills@sh.itjust.works to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 10 points –

This question studdenly appeared in my mind, A hypothetical liquid that is completely incapable of transferring (consequentially holding too, right?) Any heat in any way, how would it feel to touch it? We feel cold when heat gets out of our body and hot when it gets in right? Would it just feel perfectly neutral?

I can only partially answer this. Humans cannot sense moisture on the skin, only temperature and tactile (e.g. something on the skin, or moving along the skin like a droplet)

Something that cannot transfer heat would, I assume, feel not like putting a hand in water, but rather something....else?
